CYRUS (J. SHIGLEY, OF HART, MICHIGAN.

PHONOGRAPH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 773,164, dated. October25, 1904.

Application filed July 10, 1903. Serial N0 164,955.

To all whont it may concern:

Be it known that I, CYRUS C. SHIGLEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at the village of Hart, in the county of Oceana and StateofMichigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inPlionographs, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in phonographs.

It relates particularly to improvements in magazine-phonographs of theclass illustrated and described in United States Letters Patent issuedto me on May 5, 1903, No. 727,002, and is in some respects animprovement thereon, though it contains features adapted to anyphonograph.

The objects of the invention are, first, to provide in amagazine-phonograph improved means by which the record-rolls areautomatically brought into position for the reproduction of the recordsand the reproducer automatically adjusted; second, to provide in amagazinephonograph improved means by which any desired record may bebrought into position for reproduction or the several records reproducedin series automatically, as desired; third, to provide in amagazine-phonograph improved means by which the reproducing mechanism isautomatically brought into or thrown out of engagement with therecord-roll; fourth, to provide in a magazinephonograph improved meansby which the magazine and the reproducer mechanism are connected to beactuated in proper relation to each other; fifth, to provide in amagazinephonograph improved means to hold a large number of recordswhich is simple to adjust and not likely to get out of repair; sixth, toprovide in a magazinephonograph an improved carriage and delivery-horn.

Further objects and objects relating to structural details willdefinitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

1 accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and meansdescribed in the following specification.

The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.

A structure embodying the features of my invention is clearlyillustrated in the accom- (No model.)

panying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure1 is a side elevation view of my improved phonograph, the casing beingshown in section and portions being broken away to show details ofconstruction. Fig. 2 is an enlarged rear elevation of the reproducermechanism and its supporting and operating parts and connection to themagazine. Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 2,showing the carriage and actuating means. Fig. 4: is a detail sectionalview taken on line 4: 4 of Fig. 2, showing the means for throwing thecarriage into connection with the screw. Fig. 5 is a detail sectionalview taken on line 5 5 of Fig. 2, showing details of the connection fromthe carriage to the magazine. Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail plan view ofthe releasing mechanism for the drivingscrew of the reproducer. Fig. 7is an enlarged detail plan view of the connecting mechanism for thedriving-screw. Fig. 8 is an enlarged detail front elevation of thereproducer supporting and driving mechanism. Fig. 9 is an enlargedlongitudinal sectional View, taken on line 9 9 of Fig. 10, through thehorn of my improved phonograph. Fig. 10 is an enlarged transversesectional view taken on line 10 10 of Fig. 9. Fig. 11 is an enlargedlongitudinal sectional view, taken on line 11 11 of Fig. 1, through thedash-pot a.

In the drawings all of the sectional views are taken looking in thedirection of the little arrows at the ends of the section-lines, andsimilar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout theseveral views.

Referring to the lettered parts of the drawings, the casing A is of anydesired form or material, preferably glazed. Within the easing A areuprights or standards B B, on which the operative parts of the machineare supported.

The record-rolls are supported by a wheel having a pair of parallel rims(1, provided with suitable spokes and a hub adapted to revolve upon theshaft U. The hub is preferably provided with suitableantifriction-bearings.

The rims are suitably connected together to retain them in position.

Projecting inwardly from one of the rims ff, carried by the supporting-bracket F.

(J are suitable bearing-pivots 7). screws 7;, having pivot-bearingsformed on their ends, are inserted through the opposite rim and inconjunction with the pivots 7) form bearings for the mandrel-shafts l ofthe record-rolls I. \Vith the parts thus arranged the record-rolls aresupported, so that they revolve freely and at the same time are heldsteadily in position. A large number of record-rolls may thus besupported in a comparatively compact space and be brought into properrelation to the reproducer mechanism as desired. The arrangement of theparts for this purpose will be hereinafter pointed out.

Each of the mandrel-shafts l is provided with a thin-rimmed wheel L,which as the magazine-wheel is revolved to bring the record-rolls intoproper relation to the reproducer mechanism is engaged by the frictiondriving-wheel M on the shaft M. 2 and The driving-wheel M is providedwith a soft-rubber tire M, which engages the wheels 1 of themandrel-shafts and drives the same noiselessly and effectively. Theshaft M is provided with a pinion, with which the gear on shaft Jmeshes. This driving mechanism for the mandrel-rolls is substantiallythat described in my former patent referred to herein.

On the standard B is a bracket F, on which the reproducer mechanism issupported. The reproducer is carried by a carriage G, which is providedwith suitable bearings g g, adapted to reciprocate back and forth on therods A cross-piece F connects the outer ends of the rods ff.

it is desirable that the reproducer mechanism be automatic in itsoperation in relation to the record-roll, so that it is only necessaryto start the mechanism to have any record reproduced and the mechanismautomatically adjusted for the next reproduction.

The reproducer N is pivotally supported on the carriage G. The carriageG is driven in one direction by the driving-screw J which is suitablysupported on the bracket F and extends out over the magazine-wheel. Theshaft J is connected to the motor E by a suitable belt, as a. The motoris illustrated in conventional form.

Carried by the rock-shaft H of the carriage (3 a blade-like arm H",which is adapted to engage the threads of the driving-screw J. As theshaft J is revolved the carriage is driven along thereby against theresistance of the weighted lever I), (see Fig. 1,) which is connected tothe carriage by the cord 0 The lever D is provided with a suitableweight 1) and is adapted to actuate the magazine-wheel C and also toreturn the carriage to its initial position for the reproduction of arecord.

The lever D is provided with a pawl (Z on its outer end adapted toengage the ratchetteeth 0 on the periphery of the magazine- Thumblwheel.

(See Figs. l

The teeth or notches are spaced one to each record-roll carried by themagazinewhecl, so that upon each actuation of the lever 1) themagazine-wheel is advanced one step to bring the next succeedingrecord-roll into proper position for reproduction. A

suitable stop or escapement mechanism is pro' vided, which will bedescribed later.

\Vhen the carriage reaches its initial position in the reproduction of arecord, the driving blade or arm H is automaticallybrought intoengagement with the driving-shaft J by the arm H, carried by therock-shaft H. The arm H is provided with a laterally-projecting pin 25,arranged therethrough, which is held yieldingly in position by thespring 6. (See Figs. t and 7.) hen the carriage reaches its initialposition, this pin t is engaged by the involute threaded disk K on theshaft J, which gradually tilts the rock-shaft H until the arm H isbrought into engagement with the threads of the driving-shaft, thedriving motor having been started by the introduction of a coin or othersuitable means. An adjustable stop f is provided for the carriage.

\Vhen the carriage reaches the end of its movement, the driving-blade His automatically thrown out of engagement with the driving-shaft J bythe disk J on said driving-shaft J, which engages the arm H of therock-shaft H and tilts the rock-shaft, thereby throwing the blade H outof engagement with the screw. The disk J is provided with a projectingpin ,7", which engages the arm H as the disk is revolved. This disk ispreferably located at the same angle as the screwthreads of thedriving-shaft J, so that the arm H readily passes the same and is thenengaged by the pin 7", as described. These parts are similar to thosedescribed in my patent hereinbefore mentioned.

In order that the stylus of the reproducer be brought into contact withthe record-roll at the proper point, the involute threaded disk K ismade adjustable upon the drivingscrew J, a lock-nut K being provided forretaining it in its adjusted position. The disconnecting-disk J is alsoscrew-threaded upon the screw-shaft J, so that it may be adjusted tostop the carriage and disengage the reproducer at the proper point.Thlock-nutJ is provided for retaining this disk in its adjustedposition. The reproducer N is lifted from the record-roll by thedownwardly-dcpending arm j, carried by the driving arm or blade H. Thisarm j projects forwardly and downwardl y to the front of the reproducerand engages a projecting pin a on the reproducer, so that when therock-shaft H is thrown upwardly the reproducer N is lifted, as isindicated by dotted lines in Fig. 3 It is apparent that when therock-shaft is thrown downwardly at the initial end of the carriagemovement the reproducer is brought into contact with the record-roll.The rock-shaft H is retained in its adjusted position by a spring a",one end of which is secured to the carriage by a suitable pin 2' and theother to the end of the depending arm it on the rock-shaft H. Thisspring tends to hold the driving-blade H" in yielding engagement withthe driving-screw J when the spring is thrown to that side-of thedeadcenter and holds the same in the elevated position when the springis thrown to the opposite side of the dead-center. (See Fig. 3.)

\Vhen the rock-shaft is operated by the disconnecting means for thedriving-blade of the reproducer-carriage, the upwardly-projecting arm tis withdrawn from under the lever L, which permits the same to falldownwardly and stop the driving-motor, which is illustrated inconventional form at E, Fig. l. The lever L is pivoted on the bracket L,and the long arm of the lever projects out over the reproducer-carriagein position to be engaged by the arm it, which passes under the same asthe rock-shaft H is tilted to bring the driving-blade into engagementwith the screw driving-shaft J, as is hereinbefore described.

The short arm of the lever L is connected to the motor by a suitablecord, as Z. A depending arm Z on the lever L is arranged to engage therod f and limit the upward throw of the lever.

To keep the record-rolls free from dust and the debris of wear, Iprovide a brush 0, which is adjusted uponthe arm 0', carried by thereproducer N. By this arrangement the brush is lifted from therecord-roll when the reproducer is disengaged and when the machine is inoperation brushes the record-roll in advance of the stylus of thereproducer. Each recordroll is thereby kept clean, which adds verygreatly to its durability and also to the durability of the stylus. Italso makes the tones more perfect than is otherwise possible.

When the arm H is thrown upwardly-at the end of the movement, as hasbeen described, the arm jis brought into contact with the bail orcrank-shaft P, which is thrown upwardly thereby. This bail P isconnected to the dog s (see. Fig. 5) by a link 32. This upward movementof the bail P disengages the dog 8 from the magazine-wheel C, so thatthe magazine-wheel may be adjusted to bring any record-roll intoposition to be reproduced. The dog 8, oppositely arranged to the dog 8,prevents the backward revolution of the magazine-wheel. These dogs arecarried upon the free end of the spring S, which is supported on thestandard B, so that the magazine-wheel is yieldingly held inits adjustedposition and any sudden jars orstops prevented.

\Vith .the magazine in this position,the carriage being at the end ofits movement, the magazine-wheel can, as before stated, be adjusted toany position and bring any roll desired into position for reproduction.Any suitable means can be provided for this purpose, the same not beinghere illustrated.

Upon the introduction of a coin or its equivalent the motor is started,which revolves the driving-screw J. The disengaging disk J is flattenedor cut away on one side, so that as it is revolved the arm .H isreleased and the carriage returned to its initial position by theweighted arm D, as has before been described, and the magazine-wheel isalso advanced one step. As the carriage is returned to its initialposition the bail P is dropped downwardly, which brings the dog 8 intoengagement with the magazine-wheel and prevents the same being revolvedmore than one step. To further control the movement of themagazine-wheel, I provide a dash-pot a, the piston of which is connectedby the rod a to the lever D. This avoids any liability of injuring themagazine-w heel or the records by jarring.

The bell of the horn R of the phonograph is supported upon the pipe R,projecting upwardly from the top of the casing. (See Figs. 1 and 9.) Thesound is delivered to the bell of the horn R by the tube T, which ispivotally supported within the pipe R by the pivot a. (See Fig.delivery-pipe N of the reproducer, so that as the carriage is moved backand forth the tube T is swung upon the supporting-pivot a. By this meansI secure a yielding connection, so that the carriage may be movedfreely, and at the same time a connection which does not in any manneraffect the tone produced.

I have illustrated and described my improved magazine-phonograph in theform preferred by me on account of convenience in 9.) The tube Tembraces the IOO manufactureand simplicity in operation. I I

am, however, aware that considerable variations may be made instructural details without departing from my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-
